Repetition! You have to repeat both tones somewhere else. Things look out of place when they're the only thing with a certain attribute/color in the room. </p> <p>So in your case, I'm thinking, repeat the tones in the frame color of some artwork, in lamps, in a side chair, end of bed bench, accessories, etc. As long as you have multiple black/brown items and multiple medium wood items scattered around the room, I think it can work.</p> <p>ETA: Adding gold knobs to the hemnes is a great idea! That will repeat the gold on the side tables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-do-mismatched-wood-furniture-in-a-bedroom#post-2027196 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:23:40 +0000 Anagram 2027196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are some other options I'm looking at online.. </p> [attach=2976/15/nia2vg.558x558.arch-charcoal-oval-nightstand.jpg] [attach=2976/15/nia2vh.558x558.barnes-nightstand.jpg] [attach=2976/15/nia2vi.600x600.Reflections-2-Drawer-Nightstand.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-do-mismatched-wood-furniture-in-a-bedroom#post-2027149 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 10:56:45 +0000 travellingbee 2027149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I totally agree.

I would change out the knobs on the Hemnes piece, can you spray paint them gold to match the side tables? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-do-mismatched-wood-furniture-in-a-bedroom#post-2026986 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:00:28 +0000 jape14 2026986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely a fan of mixing wood pieces, but not these specific pieces. In my opinion, the side tables are too warm and the dresser is too cool-toned for them to work well together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-do-mismatched-wood-furniture-in-a-bedroom#post-2026982 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 08:57:44 +0000 Anagram 2026982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been looking for inspiration pictures, and I haven't really found any that make me feel like this can work. We are looking for bedside tables we like. We currently don't have a headboard and the only other furniture we have in the master is an Ikea Hemnes dresser in black/brown, on the opposite wall across from the bed.</p> <p>I really love these bedside tables, but the wood is a lighter colors than the dresser. I can't decide if it would still look okay or if it would be a trainwreck to mix woods--not to mention we have wood floors in another color still.</p> <p>We are also looking for either a headboard or bed--but for that, we're probably going to go upholstered, in either gray, cream, or a grey-taupe color.</p> <p>Looking at the pics together here, I'm thinking trainwreck. But I love those side tables and the Hemnes is cheap so we aren't going to keep it the rest of our lives--but we will have it in the forseeable future.</p> <p>[attach=2976/15/ni9w48.523x523.tables.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2976/15/ni9w49.523x523.tables2.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2976/15/ni9w4a.600x600.dresser.jpg] </p>
